Abstract (2. Language):
In this article, it is aimed to give a general overview of women’s systematic exclusion from
certain institutions that endow its subjects with power by means of the knowledge provided
by those very institutions. Male sovereignty in science, metaphysics, politics and media is
emphasised to have been realised at the expense of women’s confinement in the private,
giving ‘scientific’ evidence that prevents their outdoor activities. Another basic factor that
helps male privilege in culture and society is the systematic degradation of the qualities
attributed to femininity. Since men endeavour to be the transcendental with their mental and
spiritual capacities, they need women to be envisaged as the corporeal, terrestrial in
opposition to male celestiality.
In art, as a more feminine area compared to science, politics, law, metaphysics or media,
the case is not much different. Here, women are still regarded as the means giving the male
artist inspiration with their corporeality or they are only allowed to perform in art in some
certain ways that resemble women’s socially accustomed roles. In media representations,women are depicted as the ones unable to take initiative and in turn feel hesitant about what
to do without getting the indispensable knowledge of men.
Being deprived of historical and socio-cultural knowledge results in women’s manipulation
and subordination undermining the idea of a better life both for women and men. As men
and women, to enrich ourselves together with the others in relation, in all areas of life, one
necessity is to emancipate ourselves from practices, ideas and values that are patriarchal.

Abstract (Original Language):
Günümüzde hakim ve mesru biçimler olarak benimsenen kapitalist bir üretim tarzı,
liberal bir yasam biçimi ve ataerkil bir toplum/kültür yapısı, tarihsel süreçler oldukları adeta
inkâr edilerek ve yerlerine kolay kolay yeni bir seyin konamayacağı düsüncesiyle olduğu
gibi kabul edilmektedir. Rekabetin insanın ‘doğası’nda olduğu, para ekonomisinin
vazgeçilmezliği, her koyunun kendi bacağından asılacağı, fiziksel farklarının erkeği ‘doğal’
olarak daha ‘üstün’ kıldığı toplumsal sağduyuda genis kabul gören fikirlerdir. Kapitalist,
liberal ve ataerkil ifadelerin, alternatif siyasal projeler/ideolojiler içine de nüfus edebilmis
olması bu tür kanaatleri daha da güçlendirmektedir. Günümüzde yaygın olan bir toplum
projesinin kurucu öğeleri olarak bu biçimler, ekonomik, siyasal ve kültürel pratikler içinde
yaygınlık ve mesruiyet kazandıkça zaten seffaflasmakta, kendilerini görünmez
kılmaktadırlar.
